the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman om pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. pitts: to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute to address the house. mr. pitts: in a year for the first time in memory the pelosi congress is failing to adopt a budget, i'm proud to co-sponsor a spending limit amendment that would place a cap on federal government spending. tax rates go up and down. tax laws change. the economy changes. but in the past six decades federal tax receipts have stayed consistent at nearly 20% of g.d.p. in a "wall street journal" op-ed last monday, it was noted, quote, the tax base isn't just something you can kick around around -- at will. it makes and economic living system that makes its own choices. we can't fight against the maximum level of natural taxization. if we raise taxes we won't collect enough to reduce our deficit and we won't restrain economic -- and we will restrain economic growth. we have been bailing out for far too long. the spending limit amount is a

being actily discussed about one of theeal dangers of the widespread use of feed is when you have waste om the animal particularly manure that runs off into the ground or streams that you will wind up getting the antibiotics themselves or evenome of the resisting mike roebgs. i don't think it necessarily means a direct threat to the fish in your pond because it is going to depend on the concentration. and even if there is antibiotics it may not have an effect so i wouldn't say it is an absolute danger. i think you would have to check that and see what the concentrations of bacteria and antibiotics are in the runoff into your stream. i don't think it is an absolute sin kwa none that you have a danger to your fish. host: why do they call the antibiotics in animals a growth hormone? guest: there are certain mechanisms that are not well understood. it alters the bacterial flora of the animal's intestine that allows it -- and this is speculative but likely a contribution that allows the animal to greatly absorb more efficiently nutrients that makes it bigger, stronger and bulkier with more musc

people who live in housing association omes or cancel homes with a record of good behavior, give them a stake in that house. so when they move they have the start of some capital to move up the housing ladder. one thing we shouldn't do and this is in the liberal democrat manifesto, is putting v.a.t. on building new homes. that would just lift the price of new homes even higher out of people like anna's reach. a big, big mistake. it just doesn't make any sense. >> nick. >> i talked about how i think we need to convert empty properties, i've talked about how we need to give councils the freedom to build new homes. i certainly see in lots of our great city centers these flats which are designed for one person, the private property developers have put up these houses, lots of them standing, they should be available to families but there is a role for good old fashion council houses. i was very proud when i was up in new castle the other day to see that the liberal democrat council there has started building some council houses again for the first time in 30 years. they help as well. they

i can assure you that we and the entire industry will learn om this terrible event and emerge from itsou f the opportunity to appear before you today. i stand ready to answer your questions. >> thanks, mr. mckay. i appreciate your statement. i know that the company has been doing everything that it has been asked to do and sometimes more since the accident occurred. i want to come back to the line of question that worries me as we try to learn what happened. the fact is that in recent years bp and other energy companies have been increasingly drilling for oil in deep water. and as bp representatives had indicated, including yourself, i think, in this crisis, deep water presents a different sets of challenges from other offshore oil drilling. as i look at this process, it seems to me that the mineral manages -- minerals management service did not ask us enough of you and oher companies doing deep water drilling. the companies did not do enough themselves, including bp, to prepare for an accident just like the one that has curred. very briefly by way of background, i noticed there was th

>>or the non-lawyers in the om, could you briefly explain what you mean by pre-emption?n basically makes federal law supreme. there's a long line of case law dating back to the beginning of our country. there are cases dealing with what we call preemption of state and local regulation. that is that the federal government has acted in a way that pre-empts the state from acting in a wayhat is either in conflict with or even consistent with,ut is nonetheless impermissible for them to act, because the federal government has occupied the whole field of regulation in that area. >> if you were to give us a quick synopsis, when they say in their allegations that the errors on immigration law unlawfully interferes with federal power and authority over immigratio matters in violation of supremacy clause of the u.s. constitution, what the allegation is saying is that the forcement of federal immigration law means they have passed a law that is not within their authority. >> precisely. >> thank you. to the panel, i will go viet dinh first. an editorial declares a fight is brewing ov

and on the heels of the one a month ago where they found that a culture where the acceptance of gifts om oil and gas companies were widespread throughout the office of the lake charles district mineral management service in louisiana. that, of course, came on the heels of what we discovered years ago in reports about the incestuous cozy relionship between the oil industry and the regulators that are supposed to see that the oil industry is doing its job and doing it safely and collecting all of the revenues from the oilities that the oil industry is supposed to pay, having drilled on federal lands which is the sea bottom of the gulf of mexico. well, this latest investigative report points out -- and i will quote -- "of greatest concern is the environment in which these inspectors operate, particularly in the case with which they move between the industry and the government. that's called -- and the government." that's called the revolving door. that's somebody in the industry comes in to the government as a regulator and then the revolving door turns and they go back into the industry. n

ome proxy access. what we do in the house bill is to leave the s.e.c. in charge of that. the s.e.c., as you know, has got a rule making process to deal with that. there will be a move in that direction, but it may well be -- i think we are at least going to empower the s.e.c. to do it. beyond that, i am not sure. we will keep say on pay in the area of proxy access of shareholder participation. and at this point, there will -- it's still up in the air as to whether or not there will be specific rules in the final bill, or what we had in the house bill, which is removing any doubt that the s.e.c. has the ability to do that. >> congressman, what about self-funding for the s.e.c.? that's in the senate bill? >> it is. well, here's the problem. the prorkses committee gets -- appropriations committee gets very upset about that. what i'm hoping gets worked out, and this will be with their major participation, is a way to do some self-funding, but which leaves the appropriations committee with a role. and that one -- i have to say, it hasn't made a lot of difference. if you looked
